Accessing a SnapSync Destination Folder

The destination shared folder has separate permissions from the source folder. To access a destination folder, you must configure its access permissions on the destination NAS.

Important:

The destination folder of a SnapSync job is configured as read-only. To restore full read/write permissions you must suspend the SnapSync job.

  1. Log onto the destination NAS using an account with administrator permissions.
  2. Go to Storage Manager > Storage > Storage Space.
  3. Select the destination storage pool.
  4. Select the destination folder.

    The Shared Folder Manager window opens.

  5. Select Actions > Edit Properties.

    The Shared Folder Properties window opens.

  6. Under Storage Settings and Services, click Edit.
  7. Select one or more storage services.
  8. Click Apply.
  9. Click Permissions.

    The Shared Folder window opens.

  10. Select Users and groups permission.
  11. Configure user and group access permission, then click Apply.

    You can only select RO (read-only) permissions. For details, see Configuring User and Group Permissions.

  12. Configure NFS host access.

    For details, see Configuring NFS Host Access Permissions.

  13. Configure SMB host access.

    For details, see Configuring SMB Host Access Control.

You can now access the destination folder.
